Gas-burner

GAS-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 331,261, dated November2a, 1885.

Application filed May 11, 1885. Serial No. 165,056. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN STUERTZ, a citizen of the United States,residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gas-Burners, whichimprovement is fully set forth in the following specification andaccompanying drawing, in which the figure is a central vertical sectionof a gas burner embodying my invention, this consisting in so formingsuch burner that the flame is at the bottom of the same, and a light ofgreat brilliancy is thereby produced, as will be hereinafter fully setforth.

Referring to the drawing, A represents a pipe, which is supplied withgas in any suitable manner.

B represents a flue or pipe, which is inclosed within and secured to thepipe A and open at top and bottom.

0 represents a burner which is of the form of a ring having an openingor jet or openings or jets on its under side, and occupying aposition atthe bottom of the gas-pipe A, and is in communication therewith by meansof a pipe or a number of pipes, as at D, the latter being secured to anannular block or band, E, and passing upwardly through the same, so asto reach the pipe A, said band being connected with the lower portion ofthe pipe B.

Surrounding the band E, and secured thereto, is a cylinder, F, whose topis open and surrounds the gas-pipe A, said band having tubes or passagesG, which form a communication of the upper portion of the cylinder Fwith the lower portion thereof.

Connected with the bottom of the pipe B is a cylinder, H, of platinum,porcelain, or other material which when heated becomes incandescent,said cylinder being surrounded by a cylinder or cone, J ,which, securedto the pipe B, is open at bottom, and has openings a for the admissionof air within the same. Openings b are also formed in the cylinder Fbelow the band E, for increasing the quantity of air supplied to theburner.

Depending from and attached to the cylinder F in any suitable manner isan inverted shade or globe, K, of glass or other suitable transparentmaterial.

The operation is as follows: Gas is admitted to the pipeAand directedinto the burner C, whence it is discharged on the under side thereof.The globe K is removed in. order to ignite the gas, and then closed orrestored to its normal position. Air enters the cylinder F, and isdirected by the passages G into the globe K, and so supplies the outsideof the flame, and air also enters the cylinder J through the openings a,and so supplies the interior of the flame. The flame assumes somewhat ofthe form of the globe K, it first descending from the burner, and thenbeing directed inwardly at the bottom, where it unites, the products ofcombustion ascending through the pipe 13 and serving to superheat thegas, thus producing a light having a long side wall and unbroken bottom,the same being brilliant and steady, the incandescent cylinder Hassisting in such production, as by its nature it does not serve tocheck combustion.

In the top of the cylinder F is a loose packing, L, of wire or othersuitable material,which serves" to separate the air and cause a uniformadmission of the same to the burner.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. The gas-pipe A, in combination with the air-flue B, located in saidpipe and open at both ends, burner (3, having openings in its under sideand connected to the pipe A by tubes D, band E, having passages G, globeK, closed at the bottom thereof, and cylinder F,

surrounding said pipe A and having wire packing L, substantially as andfor the purpose set forth.

2. In a gasburner, the gas-pipeA and flue B, in combination with theburner 0, cylinder H, cone J, open at the bottom and having sideopenings, a, band E, and cylinder F, having openings 12, substantiallyas and for the purpose set forth. 7

3. The pipe A, having inclosed pipe 13, in combination with pipes D,burner 0, band E, having openings G, cylinder F, having packing L, andglobe K, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

4. In a gas-burner, a supply-pipe having a flue within the same, incombination with a burner, a cylinder surrounding the supplypipe andproperly secured to the same, with passages for the admission of airbetween the two, and a globe closed at the bottom thereof, the saidcylinder having a packing of Wire, substantially as and for the purposeset forth.

5. A gas-burner provided with a band sur- I rounding the same and havingair-passages, in combination with a cylinder connected to said band, aglobe secured to said cylinder, an air-pipe leading into said globe,andWire packing in said cylinder, substantially as and for the purpose setforth. I

6. The pipe A, having fine B, open-ended and located within the saidpipe A, in combination with the band E, having openings G, burner 0,cylinder F, having openings 12, and 15 provided with Wire packing L, andglobe K, substantially as described.
